Gerald Butts - former Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

Guess where Trudie gets his baseless allegations from…

Otherwise, says Scheer, Trudeau should fire his long-time friend from the campaign for making what he calls "baseless allegations."

If you’re wondering why “Butts” is trending on Twitter in Canada, it’s because Justin Trudeau’s former principal secretary and political aid — and, according to Maclean’s, the 14th most powerful Canadian (circa 2014) — Gerald Butts shared a broadly offensive anti-American map via tweet. He has since deleted the tweet and apologized for sharing the map without “reading it closely.”

Trudeau’s critics need to choose. A lightweight who has no substance, or a dictator with rigid views on policy? Pick a lane folks. #cdnpoli

Back in the fall, Wilson-Raybould was moved from Attorney General to Veterans Affairs which people now think happened because Trudeau didn't get his way on the SNC-Lavalin case. Butts, however, has testified this morning that that wasn't the case.

He also told the committee that he believes everything that happened regarding SNC-Lavalin has been normal government operations but that if something was happening that was improper and Justin Trudeau had known, he would have put an end to it.
